VALERIO
So, it looks that you can test problems with AG using command "HurdleColourChanging G" (I am not tested it yet).
VALERIO
was very handy!
Will it not be better to reintroduce it?
In other words, "HurdleColourChanging" is seen as a property of some pieces, like neutral or paralysing or magic, not as a special kind of piece.
(And by the way, the American inventor of the Andernach G intended this to be a general property, applicable to all hoppers.)
